Caitlin Parratt Surrey, United Kingdom
I am a mixed media and installation artist dedicated to externalizing the internal. My practice translates complex emotions and fleeting thoughts into tangible forms through the fusion of text and abstraction. Utilizing zines, immersive installations, and abstract painting, I create physical spaces for the invisible architecture of the mind.
My artistic practice is an ongoing investigation into the materiality of the human psyche and the ways in which we externalise our deepest feelings. I am fascinated by the tension between what is felt and what can be seen, using a multidisciplinary approach to mirror the layered nature of consciousness itself. Abstract painting allows me to express visceral, non-linear emotions while the integration of text provides a grounding point of connection for the audience. The scale of my work fluctuates to match the intimacy of the subject matter, ranging from the tactile and democratic format of zines to large scale installations that transform entire environments into emotional landscapes. By combining diverse materials and textures, I aim to create work that feels both immediate and enduring. My ultimate goal is to provoke a moment of recognition in the viewer, turning a solitary internal thought into a physical reality that can be navigated and felt.
